Opting for stability and the widest software compatibility, the Kindle Tablet will almost certainly run Gingerbread at its core, but that’s where the the similarities end. I believe that Amazon has actually taken an additional step forward and forked the code, and has added additional APIs and usability layers as well.

This special Amazon version of Gingerbread — which I’m tentatively referring to as “Kindlebread” has most likely been under closed development for close to two years, moving through successive code iterations from Android 2.1 and Android 2.2 while Amazon has watched the hardware platforms mature and observed the other Android players stumble and fall.
